What tho Manchester Guardian Says
About tho Market.
MANCHESTER, Sept. The Guardian,
in It's commercial article, says the mar
ket is firm. Sellers have tried to improve
their position, but have been unsuccess-
full. The notion is prevailing that prices
have fallen low enough and that the de-
mand existing is sufficient to give a
stronger appearance to the market than
has been shown for some time
Inquiry for India staples
is fair, but the offers continue low and q
large proportion of them are infeasible.
The number of orders has
not lessened. China merchants have
some business in hsnd, but
option at lower rates than were recently
accepted. and these are not reachable.
Business is poor. There is a quiet
but steady demand for moderate
quantities for the Levant, Egypt and
South America. There is more inquiry
for the home trade although quietness
prevails. The inquiry for export yarns is
poor. A small miscellaneous business is
done and prices are steady, although
spjnners would be pleased to ex-
tend their sales at current rates,
they are not willing to make
concessions. Home manufacturers have
bought moderately. Cloth is tiym.
Sellers are not making progress, Msn.
ufacturer5 are not inclined TO listen tc
low offers. Some fair sales have been
made. Sales OF medium and low prints
have been moderate. Inquiry for heavy
goods is slow.

NEW YORK, Sept. THE Sun to-day
publishes an Interview with Samuel
Spencer, first vlce-president of the Bal
timoTe and Ohio Railroad. He said that
the statement that the road had passed
into the control Of the Morgan syndicate
was Without foundation, that what the
syndicate wsnted was not control, but
harmony between the Baltimore and Ohio
and other trunk lines, but harmony and
cooperation did not mean subservIency
OF any interest. T6e syndicate WIS now
interested ID the Baltimore sn6 Oslo, and
10 secure its growth, absolute iLdepeDd-
ence of other corporations was neces-
sary. He declared the statement untrue
that $4,000 600 Of Baltimore and Ohio
oblgsrions Vas lifted on September |.
No such amount was due, and there was
no such pressure on the company at the
time. The lean WAS for future use.

NORTH BOUND.

James Proud of the Texas aud Pacific
was in Fort Worth yesterday.
Gulf, Colorado and Santa Fe trains
were ali on time yesterday, which was
getting back to first principles.
It is said the recent change of time on
the Houston and Texas Central WAS not
made to last very long, and thst another
schedule Will go into effect shortly.
The Texas and Pacific is still DELAYED
by the washOut west ofiToyah. The east
bound, due here at 1:40 last night, viii
not arrive until O'CLOCK this morning..
Major S. NJ. Ramsdell, assistant chief
engineer of the ST. Louis, Arkansas and
Texas, returned to Fort Worth last night.
chief Engineer Hinckley who was ex-
peCted has not arrived yet.
The signers of the bond for right Of
way for the st. Louis, Arkansas and
Texas met yesterday afternoon and
transacted some important business in
connection with the Dallas county right
OF way.
Secretary Hollis Of the + ort Worth and
Rio Grande informs THE GAZETTE that
the officers of the company viii move in
the new HEADQUARTERS building early next
week. The building Is very nearly COM
pleted now.
Rand McNally's latest map gives Fort
Worth four railroads and a little over
5000 population. Rand & N1cNally can
oj+r
if they will write to THE GAZETTE or any
one in Fort Worth. Dallas even would
do better than that.
1t will not be many days until the Fort
Worth and Rio Grande has It's road in
apple-pie order and ready for business.
The recent floods were very severe on the
old roads, and it is 8 wonder C new road
like the Fort Worth and Rio Grende stood
it so we'll. 1t demonstrates that the road
wSs well built to begin with.
Nothing has been neard of the Farmers
ylle-Fort Worth extension CT the Gulf,
Colorado and Santa Fe for some time, and
the engineers are doubtless still tiguring
&C the estimates. The recent increase in
the capital stock Of tie AtChison, Topeka
snd SAINTS Fe TO $4,000, 600 would indi-
cate that the master minds controlling il
have determined to build some miles OF
road, and the Farmer6ville-Fort Worth
line is likely q portion of the rosd pro-
Tided for.
The Railway Age is about to issue q
new edition of the Biograp ical Direct
ory of the Railway Officials of America,
and the material for the new book is, to
large extent, in hsnd. 1t is hoped that
the officials of Fort Worth railroads Will
not neglect to be represented in this
book. Some Of the recent publications
in regard to railroads and railroad nen
are simply ridiculous for the ignor-
ance displayed in regard to
Texas roads, and especially SO in regard
to roads centering at Fort Worth. The
publications OF the Age have hitherto been
